Martyr with his brothers Claudius and Neon. In the persecution conducted by Emperor Diocletian, the brothers were denounced by their stepmother to Lysias, the proconsul of Cilicia. The brothers were scourged to death for the faith. Domnina, a Christian woman, was also beaten to death, and Theonilla, a Christian widow, was beaten and burned to death with live coals.
